New Térénez Bridge

 cable-stayed bridge  Add category
Cable-stayed bridge carrying Départementale 791 over the river Aulne. Inaugurated in April 2011.

With a 515m span, curved with an upstream apex in order to avoid the right angle turns at both ends of the older upstream suspended bridge, made necessary by the sharp slopes on both shores. The cable stays are managed by spectacular lambda-shaped pillars.

Candidate for longest curved span in the world.
